Savoy silverware of Eighteenth century

The volume, promoted by Accorsi-Ometto Foundation’s Research Institute, centre of excellence in research about Piedmontese decorative arts of XVII - XVIII century, is dedicated to Savoy silverware of Eighteenth century and represents an important gap in the studies of Piedmontese decorative arts.

In fact the catalog presents more than three hundred pieces that show wide productions of silverware ordered by Savoy court in Eighteenth century: the accurate study of marks allows to identify silversmiths as artists of these masterpieces and, beside the most famous Boucheron, Paroletto and Gerard, discover names of other silversmiths being able to make works of absolutely perfection, technical and artistic, as Giovan Battista Novalese, Gabriel Marcello Giuliano or Giovanni Fino.
